  I upgraded the Rack unit and seemed to have worked fine and is now registered. No issues with PC connected to rack unit, even though it cautioned it would lose connection if I updated the firmware, but all works good so far. Cheers Mike

  For what it's worth, I swapped all my clean and glassy presets to MIDI spots 1-8(Red) with the 8 drive and gain presets that moved to 9-16(Green). I did not see this behavior. I'm using a a BIAS MINI Bass as a guitar amp(got DEMO from Sweetwater), not that that difference should matter. If it's a known issue, I'm glad there on to a fix.

  I've gotten a MidiMate and it's little brother to change presets on my Mini. I did run into an issue which Joe K conformed in which i could not toggle the Reverb on and off using any CC matched set between the MidiMate and the Mini. I did get the Noise Gate to toggle. Joe K says it's a bug and a fix is under way. Thanks Joe, you the man!

  I have similar issues with mine. It worked just fine until the last update (firmware is up to date). Then it started acting up in different stages: At first I didn’t get any sound when I turned it on. I always have to switch it off and on again or change the preset to get a signal through. And just in the last two days two new issues came up. Now it happens from time to time that I cannot turn it off. Only pulling the plug does the trick. Last but not least the multifunctional overall volume knob became useless. Sometimes the LEDs don’t even light up, otherwise the do light up an change when I turn the knob, but it doesn’t change the volume on any of the ins and outs. I was really happy with the Mini Head until now, but this is starting to get a wee bit annoying. I’d really appreciate any help.

  Yeah all amp matched ones. I'll do that until it's fixed, thanks m'lord.

  I've taken to baking in acoustic guitar impulses in Bias Amp and then importing that as the first effect block in bias fx to get really crystal clear cleans....the amp still does something weird to it, but it can sound good to me

  I must say, the manual is freaking useless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Most everything that I have learned was through demos on YouTube that are not even discussed or addressed in the manual. For weeks prior to purchasing, I watched videos, took notes, because I had downloaded the manual prior and saw that it was a giant turd.

  I keep bringing up how critical of an issue this whole thing is. Line 6 has made piles of products that completely tank their ability to use as advertised because of this issue...It absolutely, 100%, MUST, be taken into consideration at all times, that a traditional guitar cab and the PA/FRFR need two different types of signals, and they often need them at the exact same time. Easy to do in software land, nearly impossible to fix after the fact. Please, please please make sure the dual path (cab sim on/ cab sim off) thing is always ready for whatever situation arises Again, 100% critical

  Hi. I experienced the same today. I’m using Bias AMP 2 on my iPad, connected through Bluetooth to my BIAS Head Processor, himself connected to my Alto TS 215. I have choosed a patch on Tonecloud, tweak it, then save it to the head, and the sound was really different... But after, I’ve choosed the same patch on Tonecloud, save it as it is on the head, tweak it and saved it again, then it was ok!

  @serge-cattoul you are right, the Headrush is the same except the fact that is has no integrated Mic-preams, so the signal should be even more "flat"

  bring a dummy cabinet. =x In all seriousness, I'm pretty sure it would be fine on the floor, or if you have to you can piggyback on one of your brandmates' amps.

  @alderre right, and that's exactly why they won't integrate it into the amps/racks. They know we'll buy a floor unit anyway if they release it =) Heck, all one has to do is look at what they did with the hardware 'version' of BIAS Pedal -- they released it as three separate very-expensive pedals. They'll definitely make the BIAS FX hardware unit its own thing. ....that is, if they release one at all. Imagine how much more money they'd make from people buying a BIAS Mini plus all three BIAS pedals...

  @chris-schweiger There's no way to assign one preset for more than one MIDI command. However, you can copy your favorite preset to a different amp slot (say copy the Glassy5 to Blues1), and set them with with a different MIDI PC# to get it work. Hope that helps,

  Not stuck on any comparison, I played with Bias FX and like I said my fault for not looking at this further and assuming Bias FX would integrate with Bias Amp and can be programmed into the Bias Racks and heads. If I was comparing and knew exactly that the software would not integrate with one another (maybe at a later time) for the rack unit, I would taken a different route. So again, it is on me, I'm just venting... Cheers
